Removing the moulds can be done 12 hours after pouring the concrete. This can be quite a tedious task.

  • Use gloves to avoid damage to hands from the concrete when poking them into the holes.
  • Pull out all that you are able to retrieve from the orifices either by hand or with a pair of pliers.
  • Once you have taken out as much as you can, light a fire in the hole to burn off and get rid of that which is left inside.
  • Use methylated spirits to facilitate the process of burning the bits you want to get out . However, care must be taken to never put alcohol onto the fire. When the fire gets going, use little pieces of dry wood to keep the fire burning.
